ALTITUDE DIVING Repetitive Groups Associated with Initial Ascent to Altitude Equilibration at Altitude. Upon ascent to altitude, two things happen. The body off-gases excess nitrogen to come into equilibrium with the lower partial pressure of nitrogen in the atmosphere. It also begins a series of complicated adjustments to the lower partial pressure of oxygen. The first process is called equilibration; the second is called acclimatization. Approximately twelve hours at altitude is required for equilibration. A longer period is required for full acclimatization. If a diver begins a dive at altitude within 12 hours of arrival, the residual nitrogen left over from sea level must be taken into account. In effect, the initial dive at altitude can be considered a repetitive dive, with the first dive being the ascent from sea level to altitude. Table 9-5 gives the repetitive group associated with an initial ascent to altitude. Using this group and time at altitude before diving, enter the Residual Nitrogen Timetable for Repetitive Air Dives (Table 9-8) to determine the new repetitive group designator associated with that period of equilibration. Determine the sea level equivalent depth for your planned dive using Table 9-4. From your new repetitive group and sea level equivalent depth, determine the residual nitrogen time associated with the dive. Add this time to the actual bottom time of the dive. If the diver has spent enough time at altitude to desaturate beyond repetitive group A in Table 9-8, no addition of residual nitrogen time to bottom time is needed. The diver is “clean.� Table 99-5. Repetitive Groups Associated with Initial Ascent to Altitude. Altitude (feet)

Repetitive Group A A B C D E F G H I
WARNING Altitudes above 10,000 feet can impose serious stress on the body resulting in significant medical problems while the acclimatization process takes place. Ascents to these altitudes must be slow to allow acclimatization to occur and prophylactic drugs may be required to prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness. These exposures should always be planned in consultation with a Diving Medical Officer. Commands conducting diving operations above 10,000 feet may obtain the appropriate decompression procedures from NAVSEA 00C.
